Just put alot of stickers on the car. For one they add 15hp each and two they put fear in others hearts.

You had a very general question. Make your question more specific. You never said anything of what kind of car, make or other factors. What budget? Daily driven? Give specifics and people can help you.

well i was hoping to get a lot of different things. like i was hoping to get some people who just have normal bolt ons like i/h/e, and then some numbers from people who have gone all out with internals and turbo. like i said, i dont know what kind of budget i want, if its a lot its ok since then ill just space it out over a while. i dont want it to be daily driven, more of a weekend car. and i want it to be a drag car.

Well, sounds like you want a streetable drag car. Not hard to do. My recommendation. Go with a 92-95 Civic CX hatchback. B18C1 engine swap. Build internals, forged pistons, rods, resleeve the cylinders and some headwork. T3/T4 turbo, Hondata, a big ass intercooler. Gut the interior and have a roll cage welded in. And get some slicks, turn up the boost and you should have a pretty fun drag car that is still street legal, without the slicks of course.

if you wanna look at horsepower numbers a such, go to this website. they have everything. www.importreview.com they have plenty of dyno charts. and i agree on GScivic7 on the engine he mentioned. even better, put it in an HF CRX

I was going to suggest a 4g civic or crx, but people on here don't seem to like it. That setup would kill in a 4g Civic hatch DX or a CRX HF.

why don't people "seem to like it?"

[GScivic7]

lol...so far just about every person here as said they look like a cardboard box or something of that nature.

Thanks for pointing out my shitty grammar btw

when looking at simple bolt-ons like exhaust and intake and what not, you have to remember, the horespower and torque gains are better explained in percents rather than acutal numbers. the more power your car has to begin with, the more the exhaust or intake will add. personaly i went with a cat-back exhaust as my first mod on my 94 civic and it added more torque than hp but just by a couple numbers, no drastic increase.
